Director’s cut DVD of the drama “My Love from the Star” is set to be released. Director Jang Tae-yu is working on editing the 21-episode drama into a 2-hour version. His aim is to use just certain clips of the drama to create one episode that can be just as moving as the entire series. There were talks of releasing a movie version of the drama in China, but nothing has been decided yet.

“My Love from the Star” is a big hit in China. As CCTV reported earlier, “My Love from the Star” has gone from being a cultural phenomenon to a social syndrome. Even “Washington Post” wrote a cover story on March 8 about why China can’t make soap operas that are as good as Korea’s.
